B。be disappointed at sth意为“对某事感到失望”；be disappointed to do sth表示“对做某事感到失望”；be angry with意为“对感到生气”；depend on意为“依靠”。根据下文，“她”应该是对这件事感到很失望，所以选B。23. B。这里应该是“科学奖”，表示参加比赛而获得的奖励，所以应该选award。price价格；praise赞扬；reward报酬, 酬金。24
56、. B。cheer up 鼓舞，使振作起来；bring up抚养长大；grow up成长，长大；turn up出现；调高（音量）等。25. A。在名词性从句中要用-ever，表示“无论”，在状语从句中用-ever或no matter加特殊疑问词都行。前一个空是whatever在主语从句中作宾语，后一个空是whatever在状语从句中作主语。26. A。“大厅里充满祥和的气氛”，所以只能A。27. C。now that既然；as if好像；even though即使；so far到目前为止。根据后面“你已经完成工作了”可以看出这里是一个原因状语从句“既然”。28. B。what在后面的分句中作主
57、语，引导主语从句。29. C。in time“及时”，相当于early enough或soon enough。30. A。这里不是主语从句，而是由as引导的非限制性定语从句。31. C。此处为prevent . (from) .结构，from 可以省略，carry out和plan之间为被动关系。32. C。astronomer“天文学家”；astronaut“宇航员，太空人”；astronomy“天文学”；astrology“占星术”。听力录音原稿：Text 1W：I am from CNNPlease tell our audience about the football match w
